The Children of Caesar Part 1
Why do I care so much about public education? Does it really matter for the souls of men or am I just an overly opinionated Christian mom?
The older I get, the clearer it is that we as a race prefer to avoid confrontation, difficulty, and going against the norm. We don't know what we don't know....but, we often don't care. But is that really an option for the people of God? Aren't we supposed to understand the power of the evil one?
Understanding the power of the devil requires us to come to terms with what direction education points, because where it leads, the majority of people go. In America, education points AWAY from the God of the Bible. It leads directly away from truth. Eternity matters and the souls of our children matter...what kids learn in school builds a foundation that they build their life on. It is not neutral, and I'm passionate about it because I'm passionate about God and His plan of salvation for mankind.
Don't be afraid to question your views on government funded education. Lives are at stake and make no mistake, we are at war in this world.
For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world forces of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places. Ephesians 6:12
